Happy National Escargot Day!
This dish of cooked snails is an acquired taste but can be incredibly elegant! Although it is mainly known as a French delicacy, they are served around Europe and West Asia.

This Escargot server was painted by our founder Lucretia Donnell and was donated to the museum by Carilane Newman Vieregg in 2024. The piece was gifted to the donor from the artist in 1972. We hope to see you in the museum soon!

Summer is just around the corner!
Starting off the season with "Seashells" by George Leykauf. This plate has reticulated handles and is painted with seashells in pink and green shades. Come see this piece at our museum and get ready for the season!

Happy National Pick Strawberries Day!
We are starting off today's celebration with "Strawberries" by Jeanne M Stewart. Donated to the museum in 2020 by Tana Parks, this piece is in our Masters Hall. Whether you go to a field to pick fresh strawberries or buy them from a farmers' market today, tag us in all of your festivities!
